Sections include information about alternative sources of energy and superior greener technologies (microwave, sonochemistry), alternative reaction media (water, supercritical CO2, ionic liquids) and alternative eco-friendly catalysts (biocatalysts). This book will be an excellent resource for academicians, researchers and students focusing on synthesis as well as the biological community and industry professionals in drug development.Focuses on the current resistance mechanisms of antibiotics, chemical derivatization of antibiotics, and clinical applications of semisynthetic derivatives.Includes discussion of the semisynthesis of natural products using green tools, green solvents, and eco-friendly catalysts.Illustrates the concept of toxicity, the merits of transition-metal-free reactions, and the semisynthesis of natural products by introducing the oxygen atom(s) under transition-metal-free conditions.
